Vitamins are good for you. So lots of vitamins must be VERY good for you.

Take more than the recommended dosage, at least 10 times as much. Your kidneys will fail, your liver will too, but let's not worry about those pesky details of metabolism....

Yes. I'm aware of the dangers and am a little suprised that at the least the kidney failure aspect was not mentioned.

I take 200IU of vitamin D daily.

Of course, you're totally wrong with respect to the water-soluble vitamins, which are completely harmless even at a thousand times recommended dosages.

Sun exposure is unlikely to result in vitamin D toxicity [60]. Diet is also unlikely to cause vitamin D toxicity, unless large amounts of cod liver oil are consumed. Vitamin D toxicity is much more likely to occur from high intakes of vitamin D in supplements. The Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine has set the tolerable upper intake level (UL) for vitamin D at 25 μg (1,000 IU) for infants up to 12 months of age and 50 μg (2,000 IU) for children, adults, pregnant, and lactating women [4]. Long term intakes above the UL increase the risk of adverse health effects. Upper intake levels for vitamin D are listed in micrograms and International Units for infants, children, and adults in Table 3 [4]. Table 3: Tolerable Upper Intake Levels for vitamin D for infants, children, and adults [4] Age Men (μg/day) Women (μg/day) Pregnancy (μg/day) Lactation (μg/day) 0 to 12 months 25 (=1,000 IU) 25 (=1,000 IU) 1 to 13 years 50 (=2,000 IU) 50 (=2,000 IU) 14 to 18 years 50 (=2,000 IU) 50 (=2,000 IU) 50 (=2,000 IU) 50 (=2,000 IU) 19+ years 50 (=2,000 IU) 50 (=2,000 IU) 50 (=2,000 IU) 50 (=2,000 IU) this from the Institute of Medicine.....http://dietary-supplements.info.nih.gov/factsheets/vitamind.asp
